Welcome to SF!
Big +1 to the meetup, hackathon and conference scene.
There is no city with as many events as SF. Follow this other local with a pulse on the local meetup scene:

+1 to building up a GitHub profile. Find something interesting at a meet up or hackathon to explore in your free time and do it out in the open on GitHub. Learn by doing. And a good GH profile with good code samples helps tremendously when applying for jobs.
+1 to eventually finding an in-person job. Remote has huge advantages as you know, but being in an office with a few people you really gel with has massive advantages for learning, getting things done, and building life long personal connections. I’m fully remote now but consider my SF office days the glory days of career growth and fun.
My advice on this is to look for the right people to work with… A manager that is a good mentor and peers that are fun to work with. Id work at a boring company with a great boss and colleagues over the most exciting startup pitch or growth any day.
Since you’re gainfully employed and have some free time, take your time with all of the above!_
I truly believe all of the above is easier to find in SF than most places by getting out and about in the city.
